The first idea is always the most pivotal and important iteration. Somehow, it captures the essence of the project in a raw, holistic nature before refinement is applied upon it.
The first idea rarely bears fruit, but there are certain occasions where it has been the best.
This was the first (refined) identity developed for Paperbark, which if observed, forms the foundation for what it eventually led and evolved into.

🚀 Introducing DesignSprint.ai Built for the #figmamakeathon
90 Minutes. One Problem. One Direction.
An AI-facilitated solo design sprint tool built entirely with Figma Make. It takes you from a fuzzy problem statement to a clear prototype in 90 minutes, alone, no facilitator needed.
5 stages
⚡ Define: HMW question + 3 user personas
⚡ Diverge: 8 concept directions as wireframe sketches
⚡ Decide: 4-panel user journey storyboard
⚡ Prototype: 3 lo-fi clickable screens
⚡ Reflect: Exportable Sprint Summary Card
Built by a designer, for designers. Because great thinking shouldn't need 5 days.

Hey Pratik, thanks for your submission! Please share a published Figma site. You’ll see “figma.site” at the end of the published link. You can refer to the guidelines for more context.
A client came to me with an idea. No product, no renders, no validation, just a concept.
Three months later: a laser-based padel training system, fully modeled, visualized and ready to present to investors.
A product that projects dynamic training patterns onto the court and detects ball impacts in real time. The challenge wasn't just making it look good, it was making a technically complex system feel real, credible and investable.
Research → sketching → CAD → renders → explainer video. Full process, one deliverable: confidence for investor conversations.
Here are some more quick design explorations for a crypto website using chatGPT to get quick ideas out before building the final product
my favourite workflow now is to start with quick concepts like this then refining them in Affinity and later moving to Unicorn Studio, Lovable/Antigravity to finish the project!
let me know what you think! 😁
Love this process starting with rapid AI-generated concepts and refining them through design tools is such a smart workflow. Shows how quickly ideas can go from rough to polished while keeping creativity flexible.
